H HInre two upper sliding cross-rails, also slotted atzL, and secured to the upper ends of' the said slleths by bolts II. VJ J nre the sheths of two Outside shares, KK

secured to the extremities of the said slide rails by bolts LL L L". The slots d d t l1. enable the shares to i be setto any desired relative distance apart. M is the draught-pole, tapered on its upper side toward its renr end, and having a. stra'p, N, which enc-loses the benin A, near its front end, and is bolted fast to both pole and beam, and a. clevis, O, which ulso encloses the benin, and has a. set-screw, P, Whose elevation and depression act to lower und raise the point of' the pole, so :is to'throw the implement in or out of pitch. The sheths FFJJ are connected to the strop N by menus of' braces, Q Q Q" Qf, which braces have screw-nuts by vwhich they are both secured and adjusted. l The handlesl R are fastened to the shcths FF by menus of clips S S, which being urljustnblc enable the bundles to be set higher or lower, to suit different operators or kinds of' work.
